Answer
Correct option: D.
Silicon
The resistivities of semiconductors lie between $10^{-6} \Omega m$ and $10^4 \Omega m$.. A semiconductor material has an electrical conductivity value falling between that of a conductor, such as metallic aluminum, and an insulator, such as wood. Silicon and germanium are typical semiconductors.
